Kansas Lottery

Kansas operates a player-friendly lottery by multiple measures due to its diverse game catalog, low administrative costs, long prize claim windows, and anonymous jackpot winners.

The one thing the Kansas Lottery lacks is online sales, but that won’t remain the case for much longer. Soon, players will be able to buy Kansas Lottery tickets online through the official KS Lottery website and mobile app.

Read on for all the details, including when the Kansas Online Lottery will launch and what games it will offer. This page also details the Kansas Lottery’s current offerings, prize claim information, contact methods, and frequently asked questions.

Kansas Online Lottery

The Kansas Lottery is going online thanks to rules adopted by the Lottery Commission during its August 2024 meeting.

The new rules will allow players 18 or older to buy Kansas Lottery tickets online, play instant win games, and earn PlayOn rewards for every purchase.

The Kansas Lottery Commission hasn’t set a firm launch date for online sales but is reportedly aiming for late 2024 or early 2025. In a statement, the Kansas Lottery said it will have “best-in-class geolocation and age verification in place before any online or mobile sales go live.”

In the meantime, players may only buy Kansas Lottery tickets in person at authorized retailers. None of BettingUSA’s trusted lottery courier apps operate in Kansas, so we recommend waiting just a bit longer for the official KS Lottery app and website to introduce online sales.

Kansas Lottery Games

The Kansas Lottery offers a wide selection of game types, variations, and denominations to fit all budgets and most play styles. Whether players want to take shots at mega jackpots with games like Powerball and Mega Millions or play for lots of small, fixed prizes, the Kansas Lottery has a game type to scratch that itch.

  • Mega Jackpot Draw Games: Powerball, Mega Millions, Lotto America, and Lucky for Life
  • State Operated Jackpot Games: Super Kansas Cash and Holiday Millionaire Raffle
  • Daily Drawings: 2by2, Pick 3, and Racetrax
  • Fast Play: Instant win games with results printed on the ticket; like scratch-offs but without scratching
  • Scratchers: Roughly 40 scratch-offs available from denominations of $1 to $50

Kansas Lottery Rewards Program: PlayOn

Players can join the Kansas Lottery PlayOn loyalty program to earn rewards for ticket purchases, enter second-chance drawings, redeem points for entries into cash drawings, and participate in exclusive drawings.

Rewards club members earn points by scanning their winning and non-winning tickets in the PlayOn app, participating in surveys, and playing promotional games online. And when the Kansas Online Lottery launches, PlayOn members will automatically earn rewards for every iLottery purchase.

Once players have a PlayOn points balance, they can visit the rewards store to exchange points for entries into drawings for prizes ranging from $50 coupons to all-expenses vacations and VIP sports experiences.

For example, one recent drawing awarded a “KC Chiefs Ultimate Experience” consisting of:

  • Chiefs Flyaway package

  • Chiefs season tickets
  • NFL Draft Fest experience

Players can join PlayOn for free by downloading the official Kansas Lottery app or visiting playonkansas.com and clicking the log-in/sign-up button in the upper-right corner of the homepage.
